Stress over report cards?

[hanselthecaretaker]

Any other parents here find themselves getting overly stressed out about your young childs report card? Im talking Kindergarten here. Im wondering if my son will always have a hard time in school if he cant get a Satisfactory grade in just Kindergarten? Im all stressed and worried. I never had a problem in school in my life. School was always easy. Im not sure if over reacting will make things worse for him but also if i dont make a big deal about it, how will he get the picture that he really needs to work harder?

Please tell us you're going to bend him over your knee and spank him if he gets bad grades. Or even good grades.

Last time I was in a Kindergarten class I was 5. Actually, I remember learning french in that class. But whatever.

It's fair to make fun of my terribly formed sentence. But just know, I got A's all my life, I didn't study, I was just smarter than everyone else. Graduated from high school salutatorian (323 graduating class), 1340 on my SATs, graduated from USC with honors, and now I'm a first year law student.

So go ahead and call me dumb but I know damn well I'm probably smarter than you.

Who are you trying to convince us or yourself?

I'm pretty sure the thread wasn't titled "Anyone ever stress over beachbum's lack of education?"

French in kindergarten? Yeah....sound it out with me...."FRENCH....FRY". Yum.

Seriously, you're not impressing anyone. Allow me to teach you something your kindergarten teach clearly forgot "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Did you ever pick up any social skills along the way? Learn how to interact with others without coming off as a dickhead? No you say? I'm somehow not surprised.

If you want to practice at being a lawyer, perhaps you could read the entire thread before commenting.

Report cards are not a true measure of a childs intelligence. Most Cee students turn out to be more successful than 4.0 A+++ students in life. Why because people skills are equally as important and while they are not constantly building their book knowledge they are more than not expanding their people skills. A report card just measures how well they did their homework (And tests) some of us (C students) know the material but would rather hang with friends than spend an extra hour making sure the homework was right. Double checking comes over time eventually when someone starts paying you to do something right.

bumped for beachbum Please take note of my people skills comments!

I have a very rich friend that this happened to. Except he was more expelled from school for selling marijuana. He got his Masters in accounting by age 22 and invited his high school teachers and principal. THen he bought his dads accounting firm from him! great guy just made a mistake that made his life better!
